Avatr presented the T09 concept in Paris on October 11, marking the global debut of the first model in its new luxury flagship series. The six-seat large SUV measures 5,285 mm long, uses a 2.0-litre turbo engine with three electric motors, carries a 71.24 kWh battery and is planned to reach production during 2026.
Exterior design and dimensions
The Avatr T09 concept introduces a new flagship design language. Its front grille contains 362 Avatr-logo elements set at different heights to create a three-dimensional pattern. The lighting units use a double-layer diamond-cut design, while the clamshell bonnet covers 2.1 square metres.
Along the side, the body uses a sculpted waist treatment and integrates the distance-sensing unit into the bodywork. A large aluminium panel on the D-pillar creates the floating-roof effect. The rear uses an integrated tail-light with the same double-layer diamond-cut treatment.
Cabin displays and lighting
The centre of the Avatr T09 cabin is a retractable Vortex interaction unit with a 360-degree two-part curved surface. It combines a wood upper section with a translucent grey body and 118 independently controlled RGB LEDs. The unit works with six layers of ambient lighting across 24 positions and can display welcome, music and rear-approach warning effects.
The dashboard integrates three screens with the air vents. Hardware includes a 10.25-inch instrument display and two 17.2-inch 3.4K screens, each listed at 219 pixels per inch. An NFC area below the centre screen supports device connection.
Hybrid powertrain and chassis
The Avatr T09 combines a 2.0-litre turbo hybrid engine with three electric motors. Avatr describes the layout as a four-power-source system with more than 1,000 hp of combined output and operating modes for battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and range-extended driving.
